SOO 2016: Game 1

[Dibs]

I reckon you're spot on - Queensland defended well, but played poorly.

If they hit their straps, though...

That's the scary part

 

[Dibs]

I reckon yvonne sampson is pretty cute tbh

So do I, better than looking at Erin molan

 

[T-Boon]

Anyone else think that Laurie Daley is not up to it? I'd go back to Bellamy or even Gould at this point. This is not a strong QLD side.

 

[phantom eel]

Daley's never been up to it tbh. And he had Blocker Roach sitting there debriefing with the spine players in the dressing room at the end - what would Blocker Roach know about spine play :crazy:

true, but from the footage I saw Blocker actually said nothing...so in that respect there may be no harm done.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Blocker has probably broken a few spines in his time so he is more qualified than you guys think.

 

[Gronk]

Boring match. No shape in attack. Gallen hogged it. Reynolds long kicking game was rubbish. No second phase. Bring back Jarryd.

 

[Pugzley]

First try should have been disallowed and thurston should've taken a field goal at the 79th min.

 

[hineyrulz]

Boring boring game, once again NSW's attack is stifled by Farah and Peptide "lets see how many meaningless hit ups i can get in 80mins to inflate my stats" Gallen.


Did they even train??? Why are people surprised at the side that was picked the same two pelicans have been picking the side for the last decade and completely f**king it up. We snagged one series because Hayne finally went to Fullback and Cronk was injured in the first two games.

 

[Twizzle]

I thought the game was OK but not as many line breaks as you expect from SOO.

Interesting hear Kevvy Walters say that all the 50/50s went their way, I just expect the refs to make those calls as they seem to get intimidated by JT and Smith.

1 try each and the game was decided by a penalty conversion, nothing between the two teams really. Their biggest wtf from the refs for mine was the call on Gallen's head high tackle which piggy backed for the Maroons and got their match winning conversion. That call wasn't a 50/50 it was just wrong and even the commentators were amazed.

I dont think NSW did enough and I see there are a few whingers complaining about Morris's no try but I didn't think it was a try but their argument was the fact that it was called an on field try and not enough evidence to change that decision.

Origin so so defensive oriented these days ... its just plain boring

Parra knights was a better game to watch.

I ended up flicking between origin and a doco on The carpenters. More exciting tbh

 

[strider]

What did Sam say to upset people?

I thought the Morris try might have been awarded but I didn't think he had scored it. I was surprised at daleys comments in the presser. I thought the refs went fine outside of the high tackle. I couldn't believe the bunker overturned the scrum feed when oneill knocked it on but there was a knock on by Jennings missed that would have given Qld a 20 metre restart instead they were only on the 20 on the 5th tackle and another knock on called on Qld that seemed to have come off Jennings head. There was also one occasion when Reynolds knocked the ball out of thaidays hand that was called knock on but could have gone the other way. Also we were offside a bit but didn't get picked up for it. One 20 metre restart we tackled them at 21 out I don't think our line speed was that quick but that's origin. I just hope Daley wasn't upset about walkers dropped ball because walker was a f*ckhead and basically cost us our last chance at snagging it which I think was a fair chance of happening

What would you like to do with her strider?

The bunker has to be 100% sure the on field decision is incorrect to overturn it. The Morris try was about the 20th time this year that their vision was obscured so they guessed. Last time I checked 100% certainty didn't involve any guessing.

They might have been right, they might have been wrong. Fact remains that they're should be zero doubt if they're gonna overturn it.

What did Sam say to upset people?

It was like losing your virginity it wasn't good but we got the job done. Or something to that effect

 

[Gronk]

Something like the game was like losing your virginity. Awkward rather than amusing.

I like what he said before the game.

Reporter: Does QLD have any weaknesses ?

Sam: Yeah buffets. :lol:

 

[hindy111]

I reckon NRL has become to professional and when pick the elite teams they are just to good defensivley to score points.
Walker = Cartwright. I dont think Bryce is ready but he can offer something. I am not sure why we where taking hit ups from 10 mtrs out.Better to throw it around and drop ball on 2nd tackle then take 5 hit ups and not look like scoring.

The rest went ok. Klemmer was best of forwards. Id swap Bird for maybe frizzel?

Moylan didnt get the ball enough and needs to be used in big backline sweeping movements.
QLD attack was ordinary to thou. Maybe the rain

Agree 100%.
Id say 84% chance Morris did not score. Not 100% and not enough to over turn
Always been a believer that when its a 50-50 call you give to the way of the home team.

 

[eel01s]

The Blues resembled the Eels in attack. All they had was the sweep to the left and the crossfield kick to the winger.
